IMPORTANT

To RENEW existing short-term rental registrations under your management, login using your email here. Completed copies of the documents below are required to be on file with the Town.

BEFORE you start the application process YOU MUST have the following FORMS completed and ready to upload with your application. A copy of the self-compliance affidavit, local representative authorization, local representative’s driver’s license and the good neighbor guidelines need only be uploaded ONCE with the first short-term rental address applied for. A separate sales tax license application is required for each property owner and address:

Sales Tax License Applications, signed by each property owner for each address which does not already have a Town of Vail sales tax license. This requirement is waived ONLY for properties with 24/7 on-site property management.

A copy of the notice sent with proof of USPS mailing to the owner of adjoining residential unit in a duplex (if required).

A copy of the designated representative’s driver license showing a physical address within 60 minutes of all short-term rentals.

Each Short-Term Rental address is required to have a separate Town of Vail sales tax license and make periodic returns of applicable taxes to the Town of Vail, pursuant to Town Code 4-3-2(B). Property managers wishing to submit a single sales tax return and payment for all addresses managed may due so, but must provide a supporting break-out of amounts paid for each address and sales tax license. For more information, please contact the sales tax administrator at 970.479.2125.
